307, speculation

After his injuries stabilized, Xia Gui tore off half of the strip of cloth, wrapped a thick layer around the burning area on his shoulder, and then returned to the Guizang Pavilion.

Because he was very weak now, he didn't want to see anyone, so as not to show any horses, so when he returned to his attic, he immediately closed the door and locked it in his room.

Xia Gui sat at the wooden table, exhaled heavily, and began to sort out Tang Hongfeng's last words in his mind.

First of all, the first question, is Wei Ziqi behind the scenes?

Regarding this issue, Xia Gui can let Deng Yue, Woding, and Gan Yan secretly investigate, and a top spy should be able to roughly outline the truth of the incident.

Again, it is the second half of Tang Hongfeng's sentence.

"Under the tower of the Southern Wilderness City, there is a heavy treasure buried. ”

Wei Ziqi naturally came for that heavy treasure.

But what that treasure is, Xia Gui himself doesn't know. His father, Xia Zisheng, did not even inform Xia Gui about burying a heavy treasure under the city tower.

Xia Gui frowned a little puzzled, could it be that he didn't know what was in his own house, and he still had to rely on others to tell him?

It seems that it is necessary to go back to the destroyed southern wilderness country to explore it once.

In addition, before Tang Hongfeng died, he also gave a second clue.

This clue is more direct to Xia Gui's heart, so that he can't calm down for a long time. Tang Hongfeng bluntly said that the person who cooperated with him inside and outside and sent out secrets was a nobleman surnamed Xia, that is, Xia Gui's brother.

This sentence was cruel and shocking, so that Xia Gui did have a trace of distraction on the spot.

Thinking about it, if Wei Ziqidu may be a sanctimonious hypocrite, then his brothers, is it really impossible to cooperate with the outside world?

Xia Gui thought about it carefully, and among his brothers, the most suspicious were the eldest prince and the fourth prince.

The eldest prince, Xia Chengfeng, is not Xia Zisheng's biological son.

Xia Zisheng considered the relationship between his late brother and retained the position of prince for his nephew, so the eldest prince Xia Chengfeng has no possibility of succeeding to the throne. Xia Chengfeng was also very knowledgeable, so he went to Moxi early to practice, and heard that he had become the leader of a party.

Xia Lingyun, the fourth prince, has ordinary qualifications since he was a child, has a timid and cowardly personality, and is not loved by his father. And even when he was eight years old, he was sent to the country of Hijikata to be a proton. This brother Xia Gui is the least familiar with, and Xia Gui believes that he is also a person who is very likely to betray his homeland.

As for the second prince, he has been fighting with his father since he was a child, and he has made great achievements, and he is the best heir in the eyes of his father. It's a pity that in that war, he took the lead and died on the battlefield.

The remaining third and fifth sisters have died under the hooves of the enemy, and the seventh sister has escaped, but her life and death are currently uncertain.

At present, the suspicious objects are circled among the eldest prince and the fourth prince. There are only two of them, with a slight treason motive.

Xia Gui pondered for a while, took out a pen and paper, and wrote a secret letter, listing the clues that Tang Hongfeng said in the letter. In addition to the heavy treasure of the Southern Wilderness Country, Wei Ziqi and the two brothers have highly suspicious things, and they are all written clearly.

After writing it, Xia Gui sealed the secret letter and applied a layer of destruction mark.

If it weren't the three of them, the letter would be automatically incinerated.

After doing all this, Xia Gui called a carrier pigeon, asked him to carry the letter, and sent it to Woding, Deng Yue, Gan Yan and others. The matter of collecting intelligence and starting to investigate will be handed over to these three generals.

......

Fortunately, the food in Chaoge Academy was very good, and the spiritual liquid and qi-nourishing pills sent every day were quite abundant, and Xia Gui relied on these heavenly treasures to finally spend a full day healing.

Dinner time was approaching, and Xia Gui walked to the bronze mirror. In the mirror, there was still a slight pale look on his face, and he looked extremely prostration, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

This state is not suitable for going out to meet people, but the incident of Tang Hongfeng's assassination seems to have caused a lot of uproar, and it would be a little strange if he didn't show up.

Xia Gui thought about it, but changed into a new set of robes, combed his clothes and hair neatly, and made himself look the same as usual, so he mixed into the cafeteria with the senior brothers of Guizang Pavilion.

"Senior brother, junior brother. As soon as Xia Gui appeared in the cafeteria hall, Wan Yangshu, Peng Zu, Zhou He and others came over.

After getting along these days, they and Xia Gui have become good colleagues.

A kind smile bloomed on Xia Gui's face, and the spring breeze smiled warmly at the three of them, and said with his hands clasped into his fists: "Hello senior brothers." ”

Wan Yangshu stared at Xia Gui's face, and his junior brother's face seemed to be a little pale, but it seemed to be a problem with the light. However, this junior brother really didn't show up all day. Wan Shuyang smiled: "Senior brother, have you practiced for another day?"

Xia Gui said with a smile: "Yes, there are still four days before the Colorful Treasure Lotus will be opened again, and we must hurry up and cultivate." ”

At the mention of this, Xia Gui was really a little nervous.

After all, after suffering from Nezha's true qi and leaving a not light wound on his right shoulder, he was really a little worried, whether this would affect his state.

"Why are you so nervous, once a month. Wan Yangshu smiled.

"The junior brother took on the hidden mission. Zhou He reminded.

"Oh, yes, it's no wonder that the junior brother hasn't gone out all day, he must be hiding from cultivating. Wan Yang Shu said.

Xia Gui breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, these two people were very good at making up for themselves, but they took care of themselves and made things happen.

"Senior brother, do you know that there has been an explosive incident recently?" Peng Zu said with a smile.

Xia Gui hesitated for a moment, and said in a tentative tone: "Is it Tang Hongfeng assassinated?"

Wan Yangshu smiled: "It seems that the junior brother still pays attention to the affairs of the outside world." ”

Wan Yangshu pointed around, but saw that the surrounding senior brothers gathered in groups of threes and threes, all whispering, and the expressions on their faces were also full of gossip and excitement, this Tang Hongfeng's assassination greatly stimulated their nerves.

I have to say that in the powerful Dashang Kingdom, it is really a joke that a young master can predict in his own home and make such a big move.

Xia Gui's heart jumped suddenly, and when the three senior brothers looked directly into his eyes, he was really a little nervous and his palms were sweating.

However, the brothers didn't seem to suspect him. They seem to be just trying to create an atmosphere of mystery that will arouse the curiosity of the new junior.

"Who is the assassin?" Xia Gui asked.

Peng Zu said: "Now the whole city is searching. I heard that after the assassin finished the assassination, he flew directly into the air and dodged the arrows of the third prince of Nezha. ”

"So powerful?" Xia Gui was surprised.

Peng Zu nodded, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, "Although this Tang Hongfeng is a traitor who betrayed his family and country. But he is also a young master, and his assassination has already alarmed the big business officials. I heard that the assassin was a cultivator in the Luxi Realm, and it was not easy for that person to escape from the hands of the third prince of Nezha. ”

Every word Peng Zu said was like a needle, piercing Xia Gui's heart.

An assassin of the Murmuring Creek.

It turns out that the big business side has already grasped its own situation so clearly.

"And then?" Xia Gui asked.

Wan Yang Shu said: "The Chaoge Academy has also issued a task, if there is a disciple who can find the true identity of the assassin, he will be rewarded with 100,000 contribution points." Now, the disciples are very agitated, and they all ran to the young master's mansion to check the scene......"

"Oh?" Xia Gui was so nervous that his heart was in his throat.
